ICANN Blog on Opening ICANN Blogs for Comment

Opening ICANN Blogs for Comment <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/opening-icann-blogs-for-comment#> <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/opening-icann-blogs-for-comment#> <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/opening-icann-blogs-for-comment#> <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/opening-icann-blogs-for-comment#> <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/opening-icann-blogs-for-comment#> <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/opening-icann-blogs-for-comment#> ICANN blogs ought to be one of the key tools to provide a wider understanding of ICANN's role and work as well as an accessible entry point for community newcomers to understand what is happening and why. There's work to do on the presentation and organization of the blogging platform and we're thinking about what steps we can take. But the most obvious function of a blog is as a discursive platform. So we're going to let the conversation flow and open up comments on our ICANN blogs. It's not a technical triumph, but it is a minor gamble with our resources. No organization wants to spend time monitoring the behavior of its community, but we assume that the courtesy and respect you wish for yourself will be given to others. As such, we will rely on post-moderation. Comments are posted immediately and we review them once they are live. The Expected Standards of Behavior Policy is the same for the wider organization <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/expected-standards-2012-05-15-en>. View our website Terms of Service <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/tos-2014-06-13-en>. With comments now open, we hope blog posts can open up useful exchanges between community members and the blog authors. Of course, if you have any thoughts, you can post them below.

IPC Website & IPC Website Team
by Greg Shatan Nov. 6, 2015

Nov. 6, 2015

All, I am pleased to announce that ICANN will be giving funding to the IPC (and other Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies) to completely redevelop (and then maintain) the IPC website. We will be using a platform called Memberclicks (http://www.memberclicks.com/) which is designed for small associations and member non-profits, and offers website and membership management tools, as well as a number of other relevant features. Additional information is in the attached PDF. This will be a significant project, which makes this a good time to look for more volunteers to augment our current IPC Website Team (Marc Trachtenberg, John McElwaine, Claudio DiGangi and Colin O'Brien, along with our Secretariat Chantelle Doerksen). If you would like to join the IPC Website Team and play a major role in the first complete redevelopment of the IPC website in several years, along with the initiation of powerful membership and management tools, please respond to this email. Thanks! Greg

The ICG was successful in completing its Consolidated IANA Stewardship Proposal and is now awaiting the finalization of the CCWG-Accountability’s Work Stream 1 Recommendations. When CCWG-Accountability finalizes its Work Stream 1 recommendations, and the CWG-Stewardship confirms that the recommendations meet its requirements, the ICG can consider its proposal complete and begin the process of submitting it to the NTIA. Consolidated IANA Stewardship Proposal Taking into account an analysis of the public comments <https://www.dropbox.com/s/j07zo4malyc2sx6/Public%20Comment%20Summary%20-%20…> received during the public comment period <https://www.ianacg.org/calls-for-input/combined-proposal-public-comment-per…> that ended on 8 September 2015, and after a number of working sessions <https://meetings.icann.org/en/dublin54/schedule-table?combine=ICG> during ICANN54 <https://meetings.icann.org/en/dublin54> in Dublin, the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG <http://www.ianacg.org>) has announced <https://www.ianacg.org/icg-completes-its-work-and-awaits-conclusion-of-ccwg…> that it has finalized its proposal <http://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/IANA-transition-proposal-v9.pdf>. However, before the ICG sends the proposal to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA <http://www.ntia.doc.gov/>) via the ICANN Board, it will first confirm with the Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocwgdtstwrdshp/CWG+to+Develop+an+IAN…>) that its accountability requirements have been met by Work Stream 1 recommendations currently being finalized by the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability <https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/CCWG+on+Enhancing+ICANN+A…>).The ICG has decided to keep its mailing lists active until 30 September 2016 to enable the community to continue to contact them, if needed. It is also seeking feedback from the three IANA operational communities (names, numbers and protocol parameters) to see if they would like ICG to play a role during the implementation of the IANA Stewardship Transition. The ICG will not hold any more face-to-face meetings and will only hold conference calls on an as-needed basis. There are still some implementation details to be finalized for the transition, including the issue of the IANA trademark and intellectual property rights (IPR). The CWG-Stewardship will work with the two other operational communities to find a solution to the IPR issue that meets the needs of all three communities. CCWG-Accountability Work Stream 1 Recommendations Following the 12 September end of the public comment period <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-accountability-2015-08-03-en> for the 2nd Draft Proposal on Work Stream 1 Recommendations <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-draft-2-proposal-work-stre…>, the CCWG-Accountability held a face-to-face meeting <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-accountability-2015-08-03-en>, 25-26 September, in Los Angeles, and a number of working sessions <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56134263> in Dublin during ICANN54. As a result of its work to incorporate the feedback from the community, including feedback from the ICANN Board, the CCWG-Accountability made a number of adjustments and refinements to its draft recommendations. As a result of the adjustments, the CCWG-Accountability has decided to send the revised recommendations for a third public comment period. The third comment period will have a two-stage approach so the community can begin reviewing the materials as soon as possible. This is to enable the report on Work Stream 1 recommendations to be finalized and sent to the ICANN Board by mid January 2016, ensuring there are minimal effects on the timeline of the IANA Stewardship Transition. Key dates *15 Nov 2015* A high-level overview of Work Stream 1 Recommendations and a summary of changes from the 2nd Draft Proposal to be: 1. Released for a 35-day public comment period 2. Sent to the CCWG-Accountability’s Chartering Organizations for their feedback *30 Nov 2015* Full third draft report on Work Stream 1 Recommendations released for 20 days of consultation *Early Jan 2016* Amended report submitted to Chartering Organizations *Mid Jan 2016* Potential face-to-face meeting for Chartering Organizations, if needed, to decide whether to support the report *Mid Jan 2016* CCWG-Accountability to submit final report to the ICANN Board, enabling the ICG to also submit its final report For more information on the amendments that the CCWG-Accountability decided to pursue in Dublin, see the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability ICANN54 co-Chairs' Statement <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/Cross%20Community%20Working%20Group%20on%20…> .
